"Hi, you must be Amy" she said.
"How did you guess? I asked".
"Paula told me about the really sharp cut that she did on her model last night" she said, and then leant forward before continuing. "Don't tell her that I told you, but she was really pleased with how it turned out. I agree, it looks stunning."
"And I was only the practise one" I said.
"Guess who the competition model is?" she said.
"Not you?"
She nodded.
"So what do you think?"
"I was really nervous when she told me how she was going to do it, but now I've seen it on you, I'm much happier. It looks really good" she said, reaching up to touch my hair.
"Sorry, you don't mind do you?" she said as she saw me turn slightly.
"I only turned, because you should touch the back of my head, not my hair" I replied.
"Ooh" she said, as followed my instructions. She wasn't the only one who was thinking the same thing.
"Isn't it great?" I asked.
"It just feels so different, you get used to feeling hair there, but when there isn't any, it's sort of.."
"..a turn on" I finished for her.
"Well, that's one way of putting it" said a voice from the side. Paula had appeared just out of my line of vision and was standing there smiling.
"Has she told you what we're going to do now, Linzi?" Paula asked.
"No" the receptionist replied.
"Are you going to tell her or shall I" Paula asked, fixing me with a smile.
"I'm going to have my head shaved" I said quickly, pleased to have the chance to say it out loud, after all the times that I had said it to myself since I had got up. It sounded good.
